The Huron News-Record, 1889-03-06, Page 7erect It wee a dark,clomp night; the lamp at the cornr' threw a long 5144 ray down the strearning pave - ,Ment, but thele wasn't a pool to ho Se's . Everything was still, and COW and dark. The money was clean gone—yes, it was gone. 1 repeated these wards mechanically to myself, as I crawled up-stair3. All the results of this loss pictured themselves clearly be fore me—dismissal frotn the bank, ruin of all my prospects, utter ruin, in fact ! What could I do 1 to what turn ? The blow that had fallen upon me was so heavy and sudden, that it had benumbed my faculties. My chief desire was to crawl into bed, and fall asleep, hop- ing never to wake. But morning would come, surely enough—morn- ing and its attendant miseries. Then the thought came to me : Should I go to bed and say nothing at all about it ? No one knew of my haling received that money, not a soul but Black, the man who had deposited it. I had given no receipt for it, no acknowledgment. Black had gone to America—a hundred things might happen—he might never return : at all events, here was respite, immediate relief. I could go to the bank next morn- ing, hang up my hat as usual, every thing would go on as before. If Black returned, my word was as good' as. his: Thenotes and cheques could never be traced home. But I don't think I retained this thought long. Do you ever consider how much resolution and force of will it takes to–initiate a course of cr'itne and deception ; I'd neither the one nor the other : I should have broken down at once. 1 couldn't have met that fellow's eye and told him I had never hAd his money. I woke my my wife—she'd slept through all the trouble. ' Mary,' I said, ' we're ruined—there'd been a robbery.' `A robbery !' cried' she, clasping her hands; ' and are the men gone?' ` Yes,' I said. • ' Oh, thank Heaven,' she said, `then we're safe! Never mind the rest, Jack, as long as our lives are safe. But there's my waterproof, Jack—oh ! do run and see if they've taken that.' Then I told her the story of the twenty-two thousand pounds, She wouldn't believe me at first; but when she heard the whole story, she was frightened enough, Yet she had wits about her more thou I had. • You must run off to the town hall, Jack,' said she, ' and set the police to work. They must tele- graph to all the stations, to London, and everywhere ! Oh, do go at once, Jack, this very moment. .Every ael•ond lost may be ruin to. Us. • Away I'wont to the town hall. This was a :big, classic place, with an immense portico, and a hu; flight of steps ; but you didn't gtr into the portico to got to the police office, but to the side, which wasn't classical at all, but of the rudimen- tary style of architecture, and you went along a number of echoing stone passages before you reached the superintendent's office. ' 'es; I see it all,' Paid the super- intendent ; 'just ee Joe saw it. He follows you up from here to yonder, and he sees you put your Money into your coat -pocket, and then he follows you home, and when all's quiet, he cracks the crib. Oh, it's all iu a nutshell : and that's bow property does. And then you come to the. police:' 'But if you know it's Joe, why don't you send after him and catch him V 'Oh, we know our own business, sir ; you leave it all to us; we shall have Joo tight enough, if not for this job, anyhow for the next. We'll give him a bit of rope, like.' I couldn,t put any fire into the man, do what I could : ho was civil, that is for a Y•orkshiretnan; impas- ive ; he'd do what was right. I'd given the information ; very well, all the rest was his business. So I came home miserable, des- pairing. It was just daylight by this time, and as I opened the shut- ters, the debris of bur feast was revealed : the lees. of the lobster saled, the picked bones of the chickens, the melted residuum of the jellies ; whilst about everything hung the.faiut smell of sour wino. I sat down amid all this wretched mess, and leaned my head on my arms in dull, miserable lethargy. Then I sprang up, and as I did so -1 caught sight of myself in the look• lug glass. C,lood heavens 1 was this wretched, hand -dog fellow myself ? Did a few hours misery change a man like this? Why, I was.a very felon in appearance ; and so I should be thought to be. Who would 'believe this story of a robbery? Why, the police didn't believe in it, else they'd have taken a different tone. No; I should be looked upon as a thief by all the world. Theo my wife carne down -stairs, and with a few touches, restored a little order and sanity, both to out- ward matters and my mind. She brought the some coffee and an egg and some bread and butter, and after I had eaten and drunk, I didn't feel quite so bad. Jack,''she said, 'you must go to London at ouce, and see the direct- ors. have the first word, and tell them all about it—all the particulars. It was only a little bit of careless- ness, after all, and perhaps they'll look over it.' 'Yes ; that's all very well,' I Raid. 'But how am I to get there.' I've .gut no money., This wretched party has cleaned us right out.' 'Borrow some of Cousins.' ` Iip asked me to lend him a sovereign last night, and I couldn't.' Now, you'll say : 'Here's a man without resource. Why didn't he pawn his watch 1' To tell you the truth, that's what•I had done the week befdre, and the money was, all gone. 'Thou, under these circum- stances,' you'll add, 'it .was immoral eco give a party.' But, you'll bear in mind, the invitations had been out for a fortnight, and then we were in funds. up with me. Abuut tit you, I should think. See here it is.' It was toy identical brown great.• coat, wrapped up iu a blfudlo, and tied round with my own handker- chief. 1 trade a tart Rt it. opeued it, p1ungld lay heed into the h)r.9ct pocket—there +sue the roll of ultbouy, there were the twenty- two thousand pounds. How did I go to the bank that morning, Oa' legs ur wings? And tetvr how did I gut home, as soon as I I e t:ar'a had put the money safe away? j �-��• Assam) gum Mary know by my face it was all right; and didn't we have a dance 445 of joy all round the house! T.oe Question HnsWered w t'•1; 'Well, Jack; said my wife, 'you roust got the luau—the. P. B.—to give you same more money on the watch. Sell it to him right out. It must be worth at least ten pounds, for it cost thirty, and you've only had fiveupon it. Sell the ticket.' 0151C SAP BALL DTilii t,A When I'd told the superintendent the story—' Ah,' he said, ' I think I know who did that job.' O -h,' Said I, ' how thankful I aro! Then yon can put your hands upon him and get Mick the money. I want the money back, Mr. Super- intendent : never mind hint. I wouldn't mind, indeed rewarding him for his trouble, if I could only gel the money back.' Sir 1' said the superintendent severely, 'the police ain't sent into the world to get people's money back. Nothing of that sort; we aren't going to encourage composi- tion of felouy ; and as .for putting our hltuds on Flashy Joe, for he did the job, mark you—well, what do you think the liberty of the sub- ject is for? Where's your evidence?' I was obliged to confess I hadn't any ; Whereat the superintendent looked at mo coutemptuously. ' Now, let's into this matter,' said ho. after he'd made some notes on a bit of paper. ' How came they to know you'd gut the stoney in your coat?' I said I didn't know. ' Alt, but I know,' said the super- intendent. ' You wont to get a glass of ale after you left the bauk, young man ?' I was obliged to confess I had done so. 'That's how property gets stolen,' said be, looking at me severely. And what's more, you had a glass with a friend?—Ah 1 I knew you had. And prehaps you got talking to this friend of yours ?' Yes, indeed I had.' 'Very well ; and mentioned about the motley you'd ,just took ?' ' Very likely.' Then this Joe, depend upon it, was in the crib at the time, and he heard you ; andhe followed you back to the hank ; and yon haven't gut blinds, hut a wire -netting over the window, and any -body outside can see you counting the gold and silver.' "That's true,' I add.' My bulgier had only Esso n sort' of sneak, after all, who gut in at au open window, and hulled with the spoils of the hall; but if be had tak- eu the . pains to tunic into the poc- ket of the coat, he'd have been a rich—though perhaps a miserable and insecure—roan, and I should have been utterly and deservedly ruined. • OPIUJI\t'S DEADLY EFFECT. A YcIUNG LADY PALLS A VICTIM TO THE HABiT. A tet rible example of the results of opium eating has just become ap parent in 'Toronto. Queer stories have. • been abroad concerning the diad' ofa young lady uained Elloii Coyle,who resided at 14 Windsor st. though her family declare t.l.t• she died of heart disease. A week ago lust Saturday, about two p. nl., Hiss Coyle 1• !1 into te t•Ii lour, and died that evening at 11 o'clock. Thr story gees that the paten Is, not knowing what was the matter with their daughter, sum mune d Dr. Alex. 1)4vitlaon, of Icing street west, to diagnose the case., 'Che doctor im- mediately direovered that the young lady nal taken an overdose of opium, and the en=e was pronoun- ced hopel (88, as it proved to be. . A reporter called at 14 Windsor street this afternoon and inquired if a yunng lady had been accidentally poisoned there. A gentleman who Caine to the door replied in the negative. At length a somewhat uuwilling adu'tissiolt was made that a young woman had died of heart disease. From unmistakable and reliable sources the reporter learned that Coyle had' really died from an over- dose of opium. Her parents, it seems,• had been uuawate that she was using the terrible drug until hi - formed by tate physician. . They are very respectable people, and those who know of their daughter's. sad end express roach sympathy for the bereaved ones. The youug lady's father, James Coyle, is au excise officer of the Inland Revenue Depart meat. . GENE/'' FORT Lis cs+ 0) m 0 THE CATTLE KING.
